Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence

Welcome to the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence!

Founded in 1979, the Association for the Advancement of Artificial
Intelligence (AAAI) (formerly the American Association for Artificial
Intelligence) is a nonprofit scientific society devoted to advancing
the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and
intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines. AAAI aims to
promote research in, and responsible use of, artificial intelligence.
AAAI also aims to increase public understanding of artificial
intelligence, improve the teaching and training of AI practitioners,
and provide guidance for research planners and funders concerning the
importance and potential of current AI developments and future
directions. More…

Association News

It is with deep sorrow that we report the passing of former AAAI President Danny Bobrow on March 20, 2017. A brief obituary has been included in the Summer AI Magazine. A longer tribute will be published in a subsequent issue.

Please Support AAAI!

It is the generosity and loyalty of our members that enables us to continue to promote and further the science of artificial intelligence. Membership dues and program fees and endowment income cover only a portion of the costs of our programs. Donations and grants must supply the rest. Your gift will help sustain the many and varied programs that AAAI provides. In today’s economic climate, we depend even more on the generosity of members like you to help us fulfill our mission.

Contributions make possible projects such as the AI poster, the open access initiative, components of the AAAI annual conference, a lowered membership rate for students as well as student scholarships, and more. To enable us to continue these and other efforts, please consider a generous gift. For information on how you can contribute, please click on “Gifts.”
